MIAMI—Last week, FBI Miami joined Miami Dade Sheriff’s Office Northside District from May 29-30 for a series of drug, firearm, and violent crime arrests and investigations. This is a continuation of Operation Viper where FBI Miami deployed a team of agents, intelligence analysts and professional staff who specialize in violent crime investigations over the past two weeks across South Florida.
The 2-day operation yielded the following enforcement outcomes:
- Arrests: 21
- Firearms seized: 7
- Federal prosecutions initiated: 2
- Residential search warrant executed: 1
“The FBI is dedicated to investigating threat actors who not only commit violent crimes, but also make our communities and citizens feel less safe,” said Ryan James, assistant special agent in Charge of FBI Miami. “We will not tolerate this illegal activity in South Florida. Through our violent crime task forces and initiatives such as Operation Viper, the FBI and Miami Field Office will continue to combat violent crime on all fronts.”
“Our partnership with the FBI continues to deliver real results in the fight against violent crimes. If you’re bringing guns, drugs, or violence into our neighborhoods, we will find you, and we will take action. I’m proud of the relentless work by our Northside District deputies and grateful for the support of our federal partners who share our commitment to keeping Miami-Dade safe,” said Sheriff Rosie Cordero-Stutz.
